I don’t use mouthwash all of the time, but find myself buying it on occasion. I last purchased some mouthwash at my local dollar store. It was some pretty decent mouthwash by the name of Lander Refreshing Mint Gargle and Mouthwash. I thought it was a good buy at …

I have recently been exploring different dental flosses. I found out that I enjoy the deep down clean feeling that I get from the floss and wanted to get that feeling on a daily basis. Since then, I have made sure that there is floss in my home at …

I have not really been the type to get into electric toothbrushes, but have used quite a few of them in my lifetime. For years, my mother would buy them for us for Christmas, so I know just how most of the older models work. I wanted to get …

I have tried many different toothbrushes over the years. I don’t have a particular one that I stick to and will try almost any toothbrush once. I saw a fairly inexpensive toothbrush at my local Dollar Tree store and just could not help but try it. It was the …

I have already written about how horrible disposable tissue toilet seat covers are… now let me share a much better alternative.
These are unlike the thin, wispy, “useless against anything stronger than still air” toilet covers that you get in public restrooms– you know, the ones with the little piece still …

I have a big bag of cotton balls that I have not used in quite a while. The reason I have not used them is because I bought these cotton rounds from CVS, and I like them so much better. I use a type of nail polish remover that does …

While I was browsing in a CVS store, I saw something that was unusual. I had never seen a store brand make a product to compare to an Avon product. CVS has a bath oil product that compares itself to Skin-So-Soft bath oil by Avon. I have used …

I was looking for a new facial wash this year, just to see what was out there. I’m a regular user of Noxema cream for cleansing my face, but I like to try new things. Usually I end up being not-terribly-impressed with new cleansers as I am very happy …

I decided to try this lubricant out for fun, as some of my girlfriends had been giggling over how much they liked it with their husbands. My partner was willing to experiment with it, so we got a tube at Walmart that we discreetly hid under a bag of onions …

I have been trying to develop my hairstyling skills a bit lately. I have naturally wavy, long, frizzy and damaged hair. I love to use a flatiron or the InStyler to give it a straighter, sleeker look. Since they both use heat, and heat just aggravates frizz in the …

As many uses as I have found for menthol and tea tree products on my own, this one never occurred to me– but I am certainly glad it occurred to someone, because these Cool Off wipes are a great product.
These are individually packaged little moist wipes that you can wipe …

I stayed at a friend’s house when I traveled to see an event in Florida a couple of years ago. I stayed a couple of weeks. While I was there, I ran out of my mouthwash, and my friend recommended that I use hers rather than buying more, because she …

The last time I had a really nasty cough, I lost a lot of sleep. I was up every few minutes coughing my head off. It was exhausting. I really didn’t want to have to go to the doctor, because I knew it was from a simple cold, and …

I suffer with dry mouth sometimes, due to multiple causes, including medication, and weather.
When it is very cold outside, and we run the central heat more often, the air becomes very dry and I start having symptoms of dry mouth, dry eyes, dry skin, dry everything!
My dentist had …

I am a bit of a germaphobe, so using public restrooms is a nightmare for me that I tend to avoid unless it is absolutely necessary. Sometimes it is, especially when one has irritable bowel syndrome, and is female as well.
Sometimes public restrooms have seat covers, and …

Because I was so impressed with Butler’s GUM brand of mini brush, I thought I would love these even more, since Colgate is one of my favorite trusted brands.
While these are small and convenient for on the go, there were a few things that I thought could have …

I am a bit of an aficionado of hand creams and treatments. Over the years I have used so many I cannot keep count. This one I met recently- and my knowledge of it came from a very unexpected place. Normally I talk about hand creams and lotions …

I am a caretaker for my elderly mother, and she often needs help with daily personal activities like cleaning herself. I prefer to wear gloves for this, and she is allergic to latex– so I found these nitrile gloves and they are a great bargain and an excellent alternative.
I’m not …

I have long hair and I often have had it to get wet when washing my face or removing makeup. We all know how icky your hair can get if you have lot of styling product and it gets wet and then smooshed against your head because you were trying …

I received these cotton gloves as part of a spa gift set. They are soft and appear to be well made.
The design is cute, with little spirals and stars. I have used them with several different creams overnight. Overall, they work as well as any other …

I was given one of these blue and black bandanas by a coworker when we were out in very hot weather, working on a sign. They are basically a bandana scarf with a place to slip in ice packs. The ice packs that come with the product freeze very …

One day while I was shopping, I decided to buy some cotton balls to fill up the decorative dispenser in my bathroom. I used to use cotton balls frequently for various cosmetic and medical reasons. I largely abandoned them for the flat cotton rounds that seemed to work much …

I bought a package of these after trying similar “touch up” products like Colgate’s Wisp. Although these do have some advantages over the little Wisp brushes and GUM’s similar products, I would probably stick to the actual brushes for cleaning.
These Brush-Ups are not brushes at all. They …

When the liquid hand soap in my bathroom set ran out, I wanted to get a nice replacement for it. I really liked the silver holder, so I decided to look for either the same brand that came in it originally, or a bottle that was a similar size …

When I was a little girl, my big brother lived in the house with us– and he worked on cars. A lot. I remember his Lava soap in the bathroom– he used it to get off the oil and grease from his mechanical ventures. I loved to play with …

Once in awhile I try out a product even though the skeptic alarm is going off full blast in my head. One such product was discovered in an Avon brochure, and was called Bust Sculpting cream. My skeptical mind told me that I would have heard of it …

I take a multi vitamin daily for my general health. I am diabetic and have fibromyalgia, and since starting a regular vitamin regimen, I am definitely healthier– I had fewer colds, less muscle pain, and just generally feel a lot better than when I don’t take anything.
I’ve tried …

I am always interested in new and unique natural products. Since I have tried several all natural throat lozenges, I have found them much more interesting and effective than the mainstream ones. When I saw this Sage and Aloe lozenge, I was intrigued. I did not have …

I have GERD, and although I take prescription medication for my condition, sometimes I have breakthrough symptoms and need something “extra” to get me through them. I have often taken over the counter remedies for this, which is acceptable. Lately I have tried a few natural products as well, …

This zinc and blueberry lozenge has the benefit of being all natural but without stevia as a sweetener. I do not care for the taste of stevia. As hard as I try to like it, I just don’t. This product is sweetened with brown rice syrup, which has no …

I’ve been a fan of zinc lozenges ever since Cold Eeze first became popular. Whenever I have taken them at the beginning of a cold, I have had a shorter duration and less symptoms than I expected to have. Of course there is no way to prove that …

I take a prescription medication to help me sleep, because I do not go into the deepest stages of sleep as I should, and this is believed to be the reason I have muscle symptoms and other related symptoms of fibromyalgia.

One day while I was browsing a “special order” section of a store out of curiosity, I came across a product I had heard of but never tried– and had no idea they even still made it!
When I was a little girl, I was given a stack of …

Although this is a children’s product, I take it as an adult. It’s not because of the cool cherry flavor, although I do like cherry flavor and would much rather taste that than swallow a capsule.
It’s not even because I don’t like swallowing capsules– which I don’t, I …
